I am decreasing the amount of sugar I eat as I eat WAY to much cookies, candy, etc. I am going to allow myself fruit, that would be silly if I didn't; fruit is healthy and contains vitamins and fiber. I am going to do my best this year to kick out the refined sugar that don't serve my body well.

I was actually thinking about if it is possible to be addicted to sugar. I know it increases dopamine and affects the pleasure center of the brain. I have struggled with addiction in the past and I always wonder if sugar has been my replacement. I got sober 7 years ago and quit smoking 6 years ago. After I quit, I gained…

Thanks for sharing! I didn't think about how lack of protein may cause sugar cravings.

I really like this. Thanks for sharing. Its funny how we work so hard to lose weight, and when we do its not good enough. One pound is a lot if we think about it.

NOOOOOOOOOO!!!! I had a total sugar slip today, (going through some strong emotional stuff) and ate a lot of chocolate cake.

Its night time and I am really craving some sugar. I probably should just go to bed. lol. I didn't eat any added sugar, however I am reading all the labels and seeing a lot of my foods have some sugar in it. For now, not eating the sweets is going to be my goal and I am going to stay mindful of what foods I eat that…

Today went okay. I started reading some of the food labels and I found out that my bread has honey and dried cane sugar in it and the creamer I have been using has corn syrup( yuk). I have some things I am going to finish up, but I am not going to buy any more of them with the added sugars. I think this might take longer…

I totally get where everyone is coming from. It isn't an easy thing to just quit or give up. It has been a crutch for me since I was a little girl. Trying to change the behavior is challenging at times because sometimes it comes on so fast, even though I planned it, I don't even have time to stop it until I am already…

Thanks everyone. I tried watching the documentary "Earthlings". I couldn't even make it 1/4 of the way through. It bothered me way too much. Talk about empathy overload.
